Upgrading iphone 4 5.0.1 to 5.1.1 IM DYING!

You may just want to use the latest version of redsn0w to restore. Blog.iphone-dev.org

Just make sure to carefully read the instructions.

EDIT: Now that I am on my computer I can post the relevant bits for you

The newest version of redsn0w lets you directly restore pre-A5 devices to earlier firmware — no more complicated 15-step how-to’s with stitching, iTunes errors, and “hosts file” concerns. This is a good thing and should avoid your issues.

Download it from the link I posted earlier in this message. Run it, if on windows you may have to be in compatibility mode. Go to Extras->Even More->Restore, and follow the prompts. When it asks, click "remote blobs". You must also have a local copy of the right 5.1.1 ipsw on your machine and let redsn0w know where it is when prompted. Run it. And be happy.

Thanks Lealipoo.

I actually just got done upgrading to 5.1.1 , I used the same post you linked and it worked perfectly. Thanks a lot i really appreciate it , i can't believe I've been trying to figure this out through iTunes all day.

Re: Upgrading iphone 4 5.0.1 to 5.1.1 IM DYING!

Can i still upgrade to 5.1.1 from 5.0.1? i dont have my shsh blobs saved. When i open cydia SHSH: iOS 5.0.1, 6.1, 6.1.2. can i still upgrade to 5.1.1? i pretty much know the answer to this but i just want to make sure if i really cant, maybe you guys have a trick or something. thanks

iphone 4
jailbroken using redsn0w 0.9.15b3

Sorry dude, it can't be done without the 5.1.1 shsh blob in Cydia.

I don't understand why you would want to do that when you can update to 6,1,2 and then jailbreak with Evasi0n?

You should be able to update to 5.1.1 using redsn0w's restore feature. You should verify your shsh blobs using the verify feature first.
